Cyanotype Printing Workshop

Cyanotype Printing Workshop – Create Beautiful Blue Prints

Join us at Riverside Beads & Crafts in Market Deeping, near Peterborough for our creative Cyanotype Printing Workshop, led by experienced artist and tutor Charlotte Shearman Smith.

This friendly, hands-on workshop introduces you to the fascinating art of cyanotype printing, a traditional photographic process that creates striking blue-toned prints using natural materials and light. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a creative enthusiast, this session offers a relaxing and inspiring way to explore a unique, eco-friendly craft.

During the workshop, Charlotte will guide you step by step through the entire cyanotype process. You’ll learn how to prepare and apply the cyanotype solution, arrange flowers, leaves, and decorative elements, and expose your designs using natural sunlight or a UV lamp.

As you progress, you’ll experiment with layering textures and refining your compositions to create truly individual prints. You’ll then reveal your finished designs – each one a unique piece of artwork. By the end of the session, you’ll take home a collection of your own handmade prints, perfect for framing, gifting, or incorporating into other craft projects.

✨ October’s workshop will focus on creating cyanotype Christmas cards, giving you the chance to make something extra special for the festive season.
